Ernest, never has ROTFLMAO been more appropriately applied.
Your subject line for this is quite apt. I couldn't get past the Knudsen's 1959 edition. I was laughing so hard I had to take a break.
Something that got me was how most of the pictures had a fork and spoon and salt and pepper shakers just sort of sneaking into the picture to indicate this stuff really is food. "Honest. We wouldn't lie. See the table ornaments."
Thanks, this is good stuff.
